song fight! submission
email specifications:

subject:
The Idle Rich
message:
Your Band Name
attachment:
yourbandname_ir.mp3

This is formed from your band name (not including "the"), all lower case, with no spaces, an underscore, and an acronym of the title (or in the case of one word titles, the title), followed, of course, by a period and the file extension "mp3". MP3's only! We do not post .m4a or other file types. More info in the faq.

You wouldn't think we would need to say this, but use the actual title as shown and your actual band name, kapeesh?


Here's how it works. Click the names to listen, then check the boxes next to your favorites to vote for as many as you like, but at least two. Check all the good ones, don't check any of the bad ones, then press the vote! button to register all of your votes at once. One round of voting per fight per customer, please.
how it works
Song Fight! is a free online songwriting competition.
We provide a title, you write a new song for the title and email us an MP3 by the deadline. We post the songs, listeners vote for a winner. There is no prize. See the FAQ for full details.

Song Fight! Live IRL Returned!
Our pre-pandemic tradition of gathering in person in the summer for two nights of rocking out returned this year for its 20th incarnation! The amazing Leah (aka Charm Offensive and ADD's other half) did an incredible job hosting the event. Thank you Leah and everyone who helped out. We converged on the Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado, USA, on Friday, July 19th, and Saturday, July 20th and played 20 sets of music then wrapped up with a live song fight. We all had a grand time and you can watch the recorded streams on the YouTube channel. Thanks fluffy for the live streams. Congrats to Future Boy for winning the live fight! Let's do it again next year!
